Pororoca: Um corpo possível entre as artes

Abstract

The Pororoca work has made use of a metaphor to draw an analogy with the phenomenon of nature and also deal with the match held between two or more media , first occurring between drawing and dance. Guided by the experience of the artist Ana Lana Gastelois, it outlines a survey and systematization of questions discussed by the performance, and later by Live Art, to verify where and how these questions concerned with artistic expressions cross among themselves, overlapping and differing from the notion of Pororoca, in the sense used by the artist. It is referred to by Wagner as "Gesamtkunstwerk" (Total Work of Art) and later by the symbolists, to identify works and artists who search for itsperformance, and also try to point out the way Pororoca deals with such existing relations found in arts, between the work of art and the artist ,as well as between the work of art and the public.Relations where borders unmake and then remake themselves in a continuous flow between one side and the other, and go on building themselves spirally, discovering and drawing their own characteristics and flexibilities.Thus, the artist absorbs the phenomenon of nature by being contaminated by it, unrolling her own poetics and adrift, she keeps going on.
